The Chase Starbucks card has an increased bonus of 6,500 points, up from 4,500 that was offered when the card was launched. A terrible card to get, even for Starbucks lovers, but here it goes anyway.

The card has a $49 annual fee that is not waived.

There’s no link for this offer. Some customers were targeted through email.

• Earn 1 Star for every $1 you digitally load to your registered Starbucks Card in your Starbucks® App with your Starbucks Rewards™ Visa® Card in addition to the 2 Stars per $1 you already get when you pay with your registered Starbucks Card or registered Starbucks Card in the Starbucks® App as a Starbucks Rewards™ Member at a participating Starbucks® store.

• As a Starbucks Rewards™ Gold Member, every 125 Stars earns you a food or drink Reward.

Eligibility

This product is not available to either (i) current cardmembers of this credit card, or (ii) previous cardmembers of this credit card who received a new cardmember bonus for this credit card within the last 24 months.

The card also falls under the Chase 5/24 rule.

Guru’s Wrap-Up

A terrible product in my opinion, but the signup bonus has been getting better. It falls under the Chase 5/24 rule, so not everyone qualifies. And if you are under 5 cards in the last 24 months, then it would be foolish to use a new card application for the Chase Starbucks Visa. The signup bonus, while better than the public offer, is still maybe worth just $150-$200. You need to pay the annual fee of $49, which cuts into it.

I really don’t see a reason to get this card. You could go for other credit card bonuses and just pay for your coffee.
